Lead a campus media organization
If you have a passion for a type of media that isn’t currently represented by one of our existing student organizations, you can apply to create your own group.
How to establish your group
Your first step is to make sure no existing groups meet the same need. Search BeINvolved to find out.
If not, follow these steps.
- Register to be officially recognized by Student Life and Learning as an IU student organization.
- Find a full-time faculty member at The Media School to be your group’s advisor.
How to reserve meeting space
To reserve space at Franklin Hall — or anywhere on campus — you’ll use the Space Reservations website.
Note: Your organization must be registered at BeINvolved before you can use this service.

Registered student organizations that are advised by Media School faculty members may request to promote events and opportunities in our weekly student e-newsletter, on our events calendar and on digital screens throughout Franklin Hall.
Promote your event or opportunityMedia School USOs
All registered student organizations are classified as either University Student Organizations or Self-Governed Student Organizations.
USOs have a formal affiliation with a school. They're entitled to administrative services, but must comply with all IU policies and procedures. The Media School's USOs are:
- IU Ad Club
- IU Student Television
- Media Living Learning Center
- Media School Graduate Association
- National Association of Black Journalists
- National Association of Hispanic Journalists
- Public Relations Student Society of America
- WIUX Pure Student Radio
All other organizations are SGSOs, which operate independently of The Media School. SGSOs may seek guidance on relevant policies and procedures from the Student Involvement & Leadership Center.
Branding
USOs may use some IU and Media School branding elements.
Hospitality
In accordance with IU policy, USOs must receive advance approval for hospitality expenditures, such as meals and refreshments.
